Default Re: Increasing turn speed

Some people do not have the time to play 2 turns in a row (esp. once games get larger). They might be in a lot of games and have limited playing time. Does it seem right to kick them (or tarnish their reputation) for this if they play their turns within the alotted deadline? Not to me.

And about timezones, even just a 3 hour difference (such as between US pacific and atlantic coasts) causes a huge discrepency and can still throw the system off tremendously. That, and differing schedules. People that play early in the morning as opposed to those that play in the afternoon, for example. There is already a large window of error there. Shift the right people to later timezones, and it gets much much worse.
